A press release from CSX:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CSX (Nasdaq:CSX) was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America for the seventh consecutive year, recognizing the company’s leadership in sustainable and responsible business practices. CSX was the only U.S.-based railroad and one of only three transportation companies included on the North American index in 2017. 
“With increasing consumer demand, the need for freight rail as a safe, reliable and sustainable transportation solution is ever more pressing,” said E. Hunter Harrison, president and chief executive officer. “As the most fuel-efficient mode of freight transportation on land, rail will continue to enable significant emission reductions and help drive economic prosperity.”
CSX was recognized for high performance in corporate governance, supply chain management and corporate citizenship and philanthropy, as well as in several areas of environmental performance including environmental policy and management systems, fuel efficiency and operational eco-efficiency.
“By building on the foundation of our Precision Scheduled Railroading operating model, CSX is well-positioned for the future,” said Harrison. “This transformational operating model delivers more reliable, more consistent freight rail service which promotes sustainability and creates lasting value for customers, shareholders, employees and communities in which CSX operates.”
